"Xiao Fan? What happened?" Mu Yu looked at him nervously.
She knew that if it was not too important, Liu Xiaofan would not knock on her door so late and would usually call her in the small group.
"It's like this," Liu Xiaofan explained sincerely, "I found the whereabouts of Qian Xiaoyu's stepmother Xiao Lanhua, but she will have to go to her daughter's home very far away tomorrow morning, so I want to go find her tonight to learn more about the situation."
"Oh?" Mu Yu was surprised, "What do you want to know about her? What can she know?"
She didn't think she could learn any useful information from Xiao Lanhua. After all, Qian Xiaoyu had almost lost contact with her family since she was adopted.
"I want to learn more about the past between Qian Daqing and Qian Xiaoyu from Xiao Lanhua, and see if I can dig out some past events that can impress Qian Xiaoyu, so as to pry open her mouth and let her actively cooperate with our investigation."
Mu Yu smiled when he heard the words, but did not say anything in agreement, obviously he had no hope for it.
Her expression made Liu Xiaofan a little embarrassed: "Uh, um, you should go to bed early and I'll go take a look."
Mu Yu stopped him: "I remember that Xiao Lanhua seemed to have remarried and gone to another place?"
"After Qian Xiaoyu's father died, Xiao Lanhua and her son remarried several times."
"Son? Didn't you just say that she was going to her daughter's house?"
"The daughter was born to her and her second husband. She..." Liu Xiaofan looked at his watch and immediately changed his mind, "This process is very complicated. I will explain it to you in detail when I get back. I am in a hurry now."
"far away?"
Liu Xiaofan nodded: "She lives in a neighboring city, three hours' drive away. It's already very late, and it wouldn't be good to go there any later."
Seeing that he insisted on going, Mu Yu didn't say anything against it. He said, "You go and call Cheng Xiang, and we'll go together. I'll get my phone." Then he turned and went back to the house.
It was a six-hour drive back and forth, and it was midnight. She was afraid that it would be unsafe for him to drive alone, and if she didn't go, Cheng Xiang would definitely not go, so she decided to go there together and let Cheng Xiang and him switch cars.
When she came out again, Cheng Xiang also came out. With Cheng Xiang driving, the three of them rushed to Xiao Lanhua's home in the suburbs of the neighboring city. It was said to be a three-hour drive, but because the road conditions were unfamiliar and it was night, they drove for more than four hours and didn't arrive until after two o'clock.
"You made me wait for an extra hour, so you have to pay me for staying up late." This was the first thing Xiao Lanhua said after they entered the door.
Her loud voice startled Mu Yu and he glanced at her subconsciously. I saw that she was slightly fat, had a darker complexion, a lot of wrinkles on her face, and some thin hair. She looked no different from an ordinary rural old lady, but she was wearing a brightly colored dress that was very different from her figure and age. Looks a little weird. But she didn't seem to notice it at all, and she held her head high several times when speaking, looking very confident.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. I'll give you the money." When Mu Yu looked at Xiao Lanhua, Liu Xiaofan was apologizing to Xiao Lanhua.
"At least give me this much! Otherwise we won't have to talk about it later." Xiao Lanhua didn't waste any time and stretched out five fingers in front of Liu Xiaofan.
"Okay." Liu Xiaofan thought it was five hundred and immediately took out his wallet.
He knew this woman's money-loving personality, so after contacting her, in order to get her to cooperate, he first promised a reward of three hundred yuan. Now that he was an hour late, he saw that she had increased the price, so he didn't bother to say more. What. For him, this is not a problem, as long as this trip is not in vain.
His bulging wallet made Xiao Lanhua's eyes light up, and his cheerfulness also aroused her greed. She immediately glanced at the five hundred yuan he handed over with disgust: "Five hundred? I said five thousand, okay?" ? Do you think you should send beggars away?"
"What?! You..."
Unexpectedly, she opened her mouth so loudly that Liu Xiaofan was immediately annoyed. Just as he was about to put the money away, his wallet was snatched away by Cheng Xiang. While counting the money, he said: "Five thousand is five thousand. Please finish asking and go home early. Don't waste it." time."
Xiao Lan took the money with a smile on her face, dipped it in her saliva and counted it carefully twice, and checked the water marks one by one. After confirming that they were all genuine coins, she rolled them up and held them tightly in her hands, and then said to them: "
You just want to know about the dirty things between Qian Daqing and that little bitch, right? Wait a minute, it's hard to talk with the money, I'll go and collect it. "
After saying that, he ran into the bedroom and closed the door.
Listening to the "click" sound of the lock, Mu Yu felt dumbfounded.
Here, Liu Xiaofan was complaining to Cheng Xiang in a low voice: "What if you gave her the money so quickly and she didn't provide us with any useful clues? Wouldn't that be a waste of five thousand yuan?"
Cheng Xiang disagreed: "If she can't provide you with any useful clues even if you give me money, then don't expect her to give you any useful clues if you don't give me money. It's better to go home and sleep early if you know the result."
"She won't take the opportunity to blackmail us when she talks about it, right?" Mu Yu was worried about this issue.
Cheng Xiang still disagreed: "No matter how evil she is, she will never be more evil than Wei Yunrong. We have spent 100,000 yuan, so do we care about a few thousand yuan? For us, finding valuable clues is the most important thing."
Mu Yu was speechless. When he saw the word "distressed" written on Liu Xiaofan's face, he immediately reminded Cheng Xiang: "You gave Xiao Lanhua the money just now. You have to make up for it later on."
Cheng Xiang was about to respond when Xiao Lanhua came out. He didn't say anything and just made an "ok" gesture.
"Do you want to drink water? Let me get you a glass of water." When they came out again, Xiao Lanhua's attitude towards them was obviously much more enthusiastic.
Liu Xiaofan immediately waved his hand: "No, no, we're not thirsty. It's getting late, let's get straight to the point."
"Oh, by the way, what are you asking me for? Look at my memory." Xiao Lanhua patted her forehead and sat down.
Liu Xiaofan reminded: "It's about Qian Daqing and Qian Xiaoyu... uh, it's about some of the past between Qian Yuxia."
"Oh yes. By the way, why do you suddenly come to ask about this? Are they getting together again?"
"We did it together again? What do you mean?" Liu Xiaofan expressed confusion about the word "again" and "engage".
"Isn't that what you mean?" Xiao Lanhua curled her lips with disdain, "That shameless little bitch has been messing around with that bastard Qian Daqing since he was just a teenager. He even turned into a bastard. If I hadn't found out In time, her bastard father took her to the city to have an abortion before her belly was big, and her family’s eighteen generations would be embarrassed by her.”
Speaking of this, she spat on the ground with a look of disgust on her face, as if the people sitting in front of her were Qian Daqing and Qian Xiaoyu.
Her words surprised Mu Yu and Liu Xiaofan. Mu Yu questioned with disbelief: "Qian Xiaoyu was only thirteen or fourteen when she was adopted by Qian Fenggen, right? Could it be that she was pregnant when she was only twelve or thirteen?!"
"Is it so strange to be pregnant at the age of twelve or thirteen? Don't you know that a woman can get pregnant as long as she has her period? That little bitch has grown up at the age of eleven, and I bought her toilet paper! I was thinking about her at the time She looks pretty good. I'm going to find someone to marry her in two years. I want some gift money. I didn't expect this little bitch to be so naughty. She just gives her to someone else to fuck her at such a young age. I don't know if I can find a good one. The boss of Qiandian got together with that poor bastard Qian Daqing. Not to mention the bride price, even the money for abortion was all paid for by my mother, which made me so angry that I was bedridden for more than a week! " The more Xiao Lanhua talked, the angrier she became, "A small, juicy cabbage was sucked up by a poor and stupid pig! I wanted to strangle her to death! What a bitch!"
Then she cursed a series of extremely rude words. Liu Xiaofan couldn't stand it, so he interrupted her and asked, "Then you sold her to Qian Fengengen as your daughter-in-law?"
"That's lucky for her! Just after the abortion, she met Qian Fenggen who came back to worship his ancestors with his stupid son. He said he wanted to find a wife for his son. After telling me about his son's situation, he asked me if there was a suitable one nearby. The little girl expressed her willingness to give more gift money. When I heard that she wanted to give more gift money, I immediately showed the little bitch to Qian Fenggen. Qian Fenggen expressed her satisfaction on the spot and gave me 20,000 yuan in gift money. Although a gift of twenty thousand yuan is nothing now, it was a sky-high price more than 20 years ago! It has been our family’s income for many years!”
Mu Yu didn't care about this and asked with sympathy: "Qian Xiaoyu agreed?"
"I gave her two choices at the time: One was
Marry Qian Fenggen's silly son; the second is to sell in the city. If she doesn't marry Qian Fenggen's stupid son, I will immediately send her to a shampoo shop in the city to sell her. In this case, do you think she can refuse to agree? "Xiao Lanhua smiled proudly and seemed to admire what she did at that time.
"If she doesn't agree to marry, you won't really let her sell it, right?"
Xiao Lanhua curled her lips at Mu Yu who was asking the question: "She might as well sell it if she is with Qian Daqing. At least she can make money by selling it, which will allow her to eat and clothe herself well. What does it mean for her to fool around with Qian Daqing?"
Mu Yu was very shocked: "Then, can her father agree?"
"What can't you agree to? That little bitch has already tasted the pleasure of being fucked by a man. If you don't send her to be sold, she will definitely not be able to bear the itching. She will definitely find ways to send her to be fucked by the bastard next door! Who! How can I look at her all the time? I am not convinced that she is being fucked like this in vain. If she gets pregnant again, I don’t have the money to have an abortion! Isn’t it great to make money?”
Her eloquent statement left Mu Yu extremely speechless. She didn't know what else to condemn besides anger and pity.
Liu Xiaofan interjected: "Then Qian Xiaoyu and Qian Fenggen went to Ancheng, are they still in contact with Qian Daqing?"
"Probably not. At that time, I was also afraid that Qian Daqing would stop me, so I asked Qian Fenggen to take the little bitch away that night. At that time, no one had mobile phones or telephones, and they couldn't contact them even if they wanted to. After the little bitch was taken away, , Qian Daqing came to my house several times to make trouble, always asking about the little bitch's whereabouts, but I didn't tell him. I was afraid that he would find Qian Xiaoyu when he found out. If Qian Xiaoyu eloped with him, Qian Fenggen would definitely get it. He came to me to ask for the gift money. Not long after that, Qian Daqing also left the village and went to the city. I heard that he was working as a gangster in the city. As for whether he went to find the little bitch or not. Little bitch, I don’t know, you have to ask them.”
Xiao Lanhua didn't know that Qian Daqing was dead, and Liu Xiaofan didn't want to say anything. He asked for some more details, and then left Xiao Lanhua's house with Mu Yu and Cheng Xiang.
Cheng Xiang was still driving on the road, and Liu Xiaofan reported to Rong Jian what he learned from Xiao Lanhua.
"This should be the reason why Qian Xiaoyu did not hesitate to pay such a high price to help Qian Daqing. She has been hiding it because she doesn't want people to know about her past. It's just that she still doesn't know why Qian Daqing left Huacheng." He said at the end.
"I know, I'll ask Qian Xiaoyu overnight to see if I can get anything out of him." After Rong Jian finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
"I hope I can gain something." Liu Xiaofan said when he hung up the phone.
Cheng Xiang interrupted at the right time: "The purpose of our coming to Huacheng is to find out the reason why Qian Daqing left Huacheng. If Rong Jian knows the reason from Qian Xiaoyu, can we return to Ancheng?"
Liu Xiaofan nodded excitedly: "Yes! We defeated Guo Fei."
"We definitely can't come back so soon!" Mu Yu, who was still lamenting what happened to Qian Xiaoyu, immediately objected after hearing this, "Our mission will not be complete unless we find out the final murderer!"
She doesn't want to go back to Ancheng.
"The murderer?" Liu Xiaofan smiled, "The murderer must be in Ancheng! If we want to investigate, we have to go back to Ancheng to investigate!"
Mu Yu fell silent immediately.
If this is true, doesn't it mean that she will soon have to spend time with Qin Jinhuan again
That feeling of tightness in my chest came back.
She was still feeling heavy until she returned to the hotel room.
It was already broad daylight, and she hadn't closed her eyes all night. She was still sleepy while lying on the bed, tossing and turning.
According to yesterday's plan, she was supposed to move to her "new home" early today, but since Cheng Xiang and Liu Xiaofan were both up all night, she knew that she wouldn't be able to move to this "home" until the afternoon, so she had to force herself to sleep.
After a long while, when she finally fell asleep, her cell phone rang, and it was Rong Jian's call.
"Did Qian Xiaoyu explain the reason why Qian Daqing left Huacheng?" she asked as soon as she answered the phone.
"No. Qian Xiaoyu committed suicide."
"What?! Suicide?!" Mu Yu was stunned.
